Gorge Bridge

©2010, Olan L. Smith (edited: 10-01-2017)


In defining your grandeur photos fail,

Pictures do not capture

Words fall dismally short.


Feel, breathe and emote

That is what I connote.

A glance down your chasmal depth causes quivers,


Brings about tremors, makes people quake,

Inducing hearts to palpitate,

Looking down toward your river,


Bodies quaver

Knees quiver;

Souls shiver.


Fear is in the deep, in the light and in the night

And standing here, near the edge,

One wonders, should I leap?
